To explore the perioperative nursing methods of treating femoral head necrosis with autologous stem cells, 5 cases of femoral head necrosis were selected, one case of bilateral and 4 cases of single femoral head necrosis. Five patients underwent stem cell transplantation. Harris score, VAS score, and imaging examination were used to observe the nursing effect of autologous stem cells in the treatment of femoral head necrosis. The results showed that the pain of the patients was alleviated and the score of hip joint function was improved significantly after the treatment. There were no complications in the monitoring period after the treatment proving that the transplantation of autologous stem cells had a good therapeutic effect.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip, a rare cause of pelvic pain in the third trimester of pregnancy, often presents with nonspecific symptoms that resemble common musculoskeletal conditions. This ambiguity, coupled with concerns about the safety of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during pregnancy, can hinder timely diagnosis. We report a unique case of a 32-year-old primigravida diagnosed with a hip fracture and bilateral AVN of the femoral head in the immediate postpartum period, a complication seemingly not previously documented in pregnant patients.

Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is a common hip joint disease that imposes a heavy economic burden on society. Patients continue to experience bone necrosis even after discontinuing glucocorticoid therapy, and the specific mechanisms require further investigation. The results of this study demonstrate that exosomes secreted by damaged vascular endothelial cells in SANFH lesions may be a crucial factor leading to abnormal adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs).

A 73-year-old female experienced an atraumatic fracture of a BIOLOX delta ceramic femoral head following uncomplicated right total hip arthroplasty using a ceramic-on-polyethylene bearing. The fracture occurred post-operatively, as revealed by radiography after the patient reported a clunking sensation and leg shortening. Revision surgery involved replacing the fractured head and liner with careful removal of ceramic debris.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is a condition marked by temporary blood flow disruption to the proximal femur, commonly afflicting children aged 15 and younger. The etiology of the disease is often idiopathic and involves the development of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, subsequently leading to bone weakening and deformity. Obesity exacerbates LCPD, correlating with delayed diagnosis, increased disease severity, and bilateral involvement.

Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a challenging condition, primarily affecting young and middle-aged individuals, which results in hip dysfunction and, ultimately, femoral head collapse. However, the comparative effectiveness of joint-preserving procedures, particularly in the early stages of ONFH (ARCO stage I or II), remains inconclusive. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel technique called small-diameter core decompression (CD) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for the treatment of early-stage ONFH.
